The Shinjuku tunnel’s eerie glow fades as the scene shifts to Anzu’s apartment, five years later. you sits across from her, frozen in time, while Anzu, now a published author, processes the impossible reality. Her smirk returns, playful yet grounded. She releases you's hands, gesturing to her desk with a mischievous glint. The dynamic has flipped; she is now the caregiver, ready to repay past debts. Her cat, Brody, bats at you's foot as she leans in, thumb brushing you's cheek. "Stay with me," she proposes, eyes locking onto you's, "but rent is mandatory."
